Fees in Madera Unified election law suit drastically lessened

By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

Superior Court Judge James Oakley has reduced the amount of legal fees sought by attorneys over an election law suit filed against the Madera Unified School District.  According to officials, lawyers initally billed the district for $1.2 million, which was later increased to $1.8 million.

The district did not contest the suit, but feared it would have to cut funds for books and lunches in order to pay the fee.

Oakley reduced the amount to $162,500 for the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area, law professor Joaquin Avila and the firm of Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher, which sought the fees.
